I've had a pimple near my eye for the past couple of days, and there's another one on my scalp. It's causing pain in my right eye, and there's some swelling at the bottom of it. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to relieve the symptoms?

Use a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin for the pimple near your eye and on your head scalp. Apply a small amount to the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and swelling.

I'm dealing with infections in my groin area, and the doctor suggested using t bac 2 ointment. Is it safe to use this on my penis as well? The skin there has turned dark, shrunk, and the foreskin is tight and not moving back easily. I'm a bit worried about this, could you advise?

It's important to follow your doctor's advice, as the T Bac 2% ointment is typically used for skin infections. Applying it on the penis should be done cautiously, especially if you're experiencing tightness and discoloration. If the skin is shrinking or becoming overly tight, I recommend consulting your doctor for a specific evaluation and tailored treatment plan.

Yes headbath is advised to the patient.
